This is to commemorate the Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The evening promises to be a spectacular display of Sikh music and heritage, which will be presented in the way that the Gurus themselves performed Gurmat Sangeet and with the instruments that they blessed us with. The event has been organised to raise money for the 'Unique Orphanage' in India and aims to re-establish the missing link between music, spirituality, philosophy and healing.
